The required item, the AQUA BLUE C125-HW 36 M3/HR Desalination Plant, must be delivered by December 30, 2024. This acquisition is justified by the need for critical ship equipment essential for safety, as well as adherence to standardization initiatives which mandate the specified model.

In conclusion, the memorandum supports the decision to proceed without competition based on criticality, brand standardization, and unique supplier capabilities.
